Director Peter Berg (“Hancock”) has been very vocal about his support and respect for the Armed Forces, but he takes that esteem to a whole new level in this action epic. Not only does he include active duty Naval officers in “Battleship,” he gets the vets involved, too. Without spoiling too much, we’ll just say that the greatest generation of military champions returns to an iconic vessel to save the day at the climax of the flick – a nostalgic nod to those who gave so much for our country so long ago.BIG GUNS

Throughout the summer you’re going to see some impressive artillery. “The Avengers” boasted plenty of hi-tech weaponry when it broke box office records. Bullets are gonna fly when “The Expendables 2″ shoots its way into theaters. But “Battleship” brings a truly mind blowing display of firepower to the masses. The destructive force of the canons that the U.S.S. John Paul Jones and, later, the U.S.S. Missouri, are equipped with are astonishing, and the aliens ship’s various armaments are equally devastating as they rip through naval fleets and cities infrastructure. Pitted against one another, the result is an explosive spectacle worthy of box office dominance.
